The Lending Avenue CDFI certification celebration was a wonderful event for a great cause! Access to capital is a real barrier for entrepreneurs and small business owners in East Texas, especially in underserved markets.

Lending Avenue will make a big difference!

Thanks to Todd Buchanan, President, for hosting the event and highlighting the UT Tyler-Longview SBDC’s work with Lending Avenue and SBDC client Wee Care Learning Academy, LLC.
